What We Handle Under CCTV Drain Inspection
A CCTV inspection covers more than just looking. Here's what's included:
- Full-length camera pass through the affected line
- Pinning down precisely how far along and how deep a fault sits
- Recorded footage you can actually see, not just a verbal description
- Pre-purchase drain inspections before you buy a property
- Working out why one particular stretch won't stay clear
- A written rundown of what we found and what it means
When It Is Time for CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera stops being a nice-to-have once guessing hasn't worked. Here's when it's genuinely called for:
- One particular line has blocked on more than one occasion
- A sale is close and you want proof the drains are in good order
- Sign-off is needed on work someone else already carried out
- Something's draining slower than normal and nothing outside explains it
- Root damage is suspected and digging shouldn't happen without proof
- Nearby renovation work is about to get close to existing pipework
CCTV Drain Inspection in Putney Homes
Streets like Bremner Avenue sit among a real mix of Putney housing, original post-war detached homes next to later townhouses and more recent rebuilds.
A newer-looking townhouse can still be running drainage installed decades ago, and an older brick home might already have been replumbed. Age above ground doesn't tell you much about what's underneath it.
That's exactly why a camera matters here more than a guess based on a house's street appeal. It settles the question instead of assuming one way or the other.
It also removes the debate over who's right when a fault sits on a shared line between two dwellings, since everyone's looking at the same footage.
What Your CCTV Drain Inspection Quote Depends On
A camera job is usually one of our simpler quotes, though a handful of details shape it:
- Length of the line being inspected
- Number of access points available
- Whether it's a quick pass-through or a targeted fault-find
- Whether the property is a single dwelling or a shared line
- Timing, if it's tied to a property purchase deadline
On a mixed street like Bremner Avenue, a shared line between an older home and a newer build sometimes needs more than one access point, which we factor into the quote rather than adding it on later. Either way, you'll have the cost confirmed before the camera goes anywhere near the drain.
Our CCTV Drain Inspection Process, Start to Finish
Most inspections are finished within the hour, longer if the line is lengthy or has several access points.
- Price Confirmed First: We agree the cost with you before any equipment comes out of the van.
- Camera Pass: The unit travels the full run, recording the whole way through.
- Locate and Assess: We work out precisely where the trouble is and what state it's in.
- Explain the Footage: You see what we saw, with a plain-English rundown of what it means for next steps.
What NSW Requires for CCTV Drain Inspection
A camera inspection itself doesn't need the same licensing as physical repair work, but anything it leads to, clearing, relining or excavation, does require a licensed plumber under NSW law. We hold licence #465156C for exactly that reason.
A sewer service diagram, once we've mapped a line, can save time on any future job at the same property. Our write-up sticks to what the camera recorded, not a pitch dressed up as one.
Where the footage points to repair rather than a clear, we'll say so plainly, and the quote for that follow-up work is separate and just as fixed. Nothing about the inspection commits you to booking anything further.
Why This Is a Job for Our Team
Book a jet blast and the CCTV check that follows it is free, so you get proof the line is actually clear, not just an assumption.
We've built up 300+ five-star reviews doing exactly this kind of work across Sydney, and a camera pass means you see precisely what we see, no guessing built into the number.
Why a Camera Beats a Guess
A plumber can make an educated guess about a drain's condition from the symptoms alone, and often be close to right. Close isn't the same as certain, though, especially once a quote for repair work is on the table.
Footage closes that gap. The repair you agree to matches the actual damage on screen, not an educated guess about where the problem probably sits.
Related Work and Surrounding Areas
Damage found on camera generally leads to blocked drain repair, while a clean line just needing attention points to drain cleaning instead. We cover Putney and the surrounding Ryde area, including Ryde, Meadowbank and Mortlake.

Common questions
Your CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
These are the questions that come up most before we book a camera inspection in.
What's the typical cost of a CCTV drain inspection?
It depends on how far the camera has to travel and how many access points are involved. We agree that with you first, before anything gets booked in.
Is CCTV drain inspection available in Putney on weekends?
Yes, we book cameras in on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays just as readily as any weekday.
Can tree roots be spotted and cleared without digging first?
The camera spots them without any digging at all, and clearing root growth from inside the pipe is often possible too, depending on how established it is.
Do strata properties in Putney get CCTV drain inspections too?
Yes, and a shared line serving multiple units is exactly where a camera helps most, since we can work directly with an owners corporation on what the footage shows.
How much time should a CCTV drain inspection take?
Budget on roughly an hour for a single home. A shared line or a longer run needs more time set aside to do it justice.
Is CCTV drain inspection included under the lifetime labour warranty?
The inspection itself is diagnostic, so the warranty applies to any repair work that follows it, rather than the camera pass itself.
